Good Works.
The guardians OF children too often
confound extreme sensitiveness with q
hasty temper, which is the prevailing
fault Of sensitive children, Little by
little self control can be taught, and in
filtration of such ideas and motives and
sentiments made in the child's mind az
will enable him to outgrow and over
come his infirmity. Time cures great
many things, children outgrow infrmi-
ties and faults; and if right principles of
action and feeling are instilled gently,
constantly, wisely, the results will ulti-
mately appear. It is mere cruelty to
make the weak point of child. source
of teasing and ridicule as is often done
in schools and families. II he is born
with a defective foot, with defective sight
or hearing, how careful we sre to try to
make up to him what nature has deniedl
A defect in ones mental or moral organ
ization should certainly be as tenderly
and judiciously treated as bodily de-
formity. A quick temper, an irritable
or humorous or teasing disposition, re-
quires FAR more tact and iudicious man
asement than any mere physical infrm-
ity. When grown to maturity, our
sensitive children become the poets, mu-
sicians, artists, writer's, leaders Of their
time.

Decayihg Skating Kinks.

Decaying Skating Kinks.
ew York World.
Many man and woman deplores the
day that roller skates lured them from
the paths of domesticity. That wicked
little roller appears in social history az a
sort OF Juggernaut, destroying homes,
breaking hearts ond bringing despair
and ruin to weak and erring mortals.
This ie no exaggeration. When skating
rink "craze" was at it's height the papers
were full Of sensational stories, telling
how tragedy had been the outcome Of
what seemed, on the surface, harmless
sport. The jaunty rink professor" be-
came more famous for his amours than
the festive coachmrn. And now one
more elopement has resulted from too
much roller skating. The domestic
tragedy at Red Bank, N. j., which has
destroyed two homes, is the latest un-
happy outcome of sport which is grad
ually losing its popularity. The occur
renee gives late and unnecessary en-
phasis to the fact that the decline of
skating Kinks is gain for morality.

had always lived near the Rappanhan-
mock and the Rapidan, where the oppos-
ing parties were operating, and it was
decided to utilize my knowledge Of the
country by hiring me for q scout. I
made frequent journeys through north
ern Virginia, making reports 10 my su-
perior when I could, and was never but
once suspected of being in the service
Of the Yankee government. That was
just after the battle at Chancellorsville,
when General Hooker was anxious to
know what move Lee would make after
so signal victory, and was directed
to 60 into the rear of his lines and report
any general movement of rebel troops.
I had Just left farmhouse q few miles
south Of Fredericksburg, where had an
interview with q colored man I could
rely upon, when three confederate SOL
diers overlook me, and asked me what I
knew of tire Yankees. I denied any
knowledge IF northern people, but they
were not satisfied, and I was told to
kneel when one of them put his pistol to
my head and snapped five successive
caps, but for some reason the powder did
not ignite. I was surprised each time
the hammer went down to tind mysel
alive, but thought my time was surely
come when he called on one of his COM
panions for q carSine The other SOL
diers, however, told him they thought I
had been punished enough and I was
allowed to go. Soon after this incident
l gave up my position as scout and en-
listed as soldier. A few months later
my regiment was engaged in one of the
skirmishes that followed the battle of
Gettysburg, and while we were returning
over part of the field where the fight
had been pretty hot, I stumbled over a
wounded rebel soldier who begged me
to give him drink of water. The in
slant I looked at him I recognized the
man who had tried to shoot me, and I
turned and left him. I had thought
many times I would kill that man if I
ever met him, but I could not Sleep"

Nuts and Kernels.

Nuts and Kernels.
November Atlantic.
The difference in our estimate Of peo-
PIE and thiAgs depends On how we take
them. IL we eat the whole nut, we find
q good deal that is coarse and innutri-
tious; but if we have the habit of pick
ing out the kernel, we generally find it
sweet. Even the squirrel knows enough
for that. Persons of q very wide and
varied experience are apt to acquire this
squirrelons wisdom. Out OF each of
their battles, sieges, and fortunes they
have contrived to extract central core
that WAS interesting. The crude re-
mainder u incident and circumstance,
like the ache of the philosophical warrior
with the broken leg. at least served 'sto
pass away the time" A neiShbor of
mine finds nature very humdrum. Peo-
pie bore him terribly. He should stop
trying to take them whole. Even in
ones self there may be found some
deeply hidden bit of good meat, how
ever thick the shuck and she'll. How
delightful, and perennislly delightful, is
that friend who seems to have discovered
this kernel in our husky naturel What
an agreeable day we pass when he sue
ceeds, for the time being, in making it
visible even to Ourselvee!
As experienced persons learn to ex-
tract the kernel from the real world, so
contemplative persons learn to do it with
books. Macaulay was said to be able
to stop q minute at q book-stall, and
pluck out the heart of new volume.
Others of us take longer, but We all
have to acquire something Of this art, in
the bewildering presence Of the constant
" thronging crowd Of books. It seems to
me for instance, that found the very IN
nermost kernel Of Amiel's Journal the first
hour I spent in preliminary yeconnais-
